The People with the Huge Wigs (The Big Wigs)

Isaac Newton: Carrying the reputation of being the most influential scientist ever known. Newton was a mathematician, physicist, natural astronomer, alchemist, and theologian. One of his most famous inventions was the first practical reflecting telescope. He also proposed that a prism separates white light into every color of light that forms the visible spectrum. He was one of the main scientists who led the revolution to seek knowledge to understand and explain the world we live in.



Albert Einstein: The greatly know theoretical physicist who created the theory of relativity, causing a revolution in terms of physics. His energy-mass equivalence equation, E=MC^(2), is world famous in describing the relationship between the two and has been used in many applications such as nuclear technology. Einstein was also the pioneer of Nuclear fission, the technology that is used in most nuclear reactors and weapons! Being able to take atoms from the planet we live on and smash them together to release energy is amazing, it shows that describing the physical world can only yield benefits.



Charles Darwin: The English naturalist who decided to look at life in an entirely different way. Charles Darwin was the man who developed the Theory of Evolution, a theory that he created to better understand and explain the way life progresses and gradually changes over time. Of course, the Church immediately rejected his theory (some still do) and he was looked down upon in society at first, though people began to take into account his research and the concrete evidence that can be observed to support his claims, he then became known as a visionary.



Sigmund Freud: Sigmund Freud is the most well-known psychologist, he was a man that suggested that we study and take into account unconscious thought that we are not aware of. He also brought forth information on the mechanism of repression. His findings later on led to experimental ways to treat psychopathology and many other psychological phenomena.



Neils Bohr: This guy was a Danish physicist who made an immense amount of contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics. If anyone has basic knowledge of chemistry, they will be familiar with the Bohr model, which is Niels Bohr's interpretation of the atom, based off of complex quantum mechanical calculations.
